Cupcake Train Cake- DIY Birthday Celebration

Materials:

Graham Crackers (1 for each train car) – used as the body of the train car

Toothpicks (2 for each train car) – used for the wheel base

Oreos (4 for each train car) – used for the wheels

Icing – used as the glue to hold the wheels to the wheel base

Cupcakes (2 for each train car)

Directions

To make the wheel bases of the “train car,” use a toothpick to hold together 2 marshmallows by inserting the toothpick into the center of one marshmallow and then stacking the second marshmallow on top.

Repeat step 1 so that you have 2 wheel bases.

Place a graham cracker on top the marshmallow wheel bases so that the marshmallows support the front and the back of the graham cracker.

Using the icing as a glue, place some icing on one side of an Oreo cookie and then attach the Oreo to one of the marshmallows.
